Though I’d used binoculars (望远镜), field guides and song identification apps all summer while hiking, this was the first time I only watched birds. I’ve always cared about birds and have written about them as a science writer, but the moment I decided with purpose to devote time and energy to bird-watching marked my transformation into a birder. Seven months later, I’ve seen 452 species, learned dozens of calls, tracked rare birds, and even went looking for owls at night. I didn’t start from zero. My career spent writing about nature taught me about the habitats; journalism allowed me to quickly familiarize myself with new topics and new people. I crowdsourced tips on social media platforms and went out with experienced birders. I used tools available to beginners. Many regard birding as just turning lives into checklist numbers, but even that is harder without knowledge. To find the birds, you have to know them. And in doing that, much else falls into space. Birding has boosted my time outdoors, pushing me to explore my neighborhood in ways I never would have: amazing hot spots in industrial areas, wastewater treatment plants, and random parks. I seem imperious to heat, cold, hunger, and thirst. My mind quiets, focusing only on the present. I also feel a much deeper connection to nature, which I’ve long written about but always remained slightly distant from. Every bird I meet gives color and sound to the facts I once knew only from books. Birds I assumed lived far away — golden eagles, cranes — have all appeared within an hour of my house. People call birding an escape from reality. I reject that. Instead, I see it as involvement with the true reality. I don’t need to know social media drama when I can spend an hour hunting for a rare bird. The choice is obvious. Spring is coming. New birds will soon flood the Bay Area. I can’t wait. 4. What is paragraph 1 mainly about? A. When the author became a birder. B. The author’s early interest in birding. C. An ideal destination for new birders. D. A memorable birding trip without tools. 5. What does the author emphasize in paragraph 3? A. Why new birders can never start from zero. B. How prior skills have aided his/ her birding. C. The difficulties of birding without guidance. D. The use of effective bird identification tools. 6. What does the underlined phrase “imperious to” mean in paragraph 5? A. extremely afraid of. B. Strongly opposed to. C. easily contented with. D. completely unaffected by. 7. What is the author’s main message? A. Birding is an escape from reality. B. Technology kills real experience. C. Simple joys like birding enrich life. D. Hobbies require a lot of knowledge. 【答案】4. A 5. B 6. D 7. C 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇记叙文。作者讲述了自己从一名科学写作者转变为真正的观鸟爱好者的经历，强调了观鸟带来的乐趣、知识积累和对自然更深层次的连接，表达了作者对自然生活的热爱和对“真实现实”的追求。 【4题详解】 主旨大意题。根据第一段“This was the first time I only watched birds.(这是我第一次只是单纯地观察鸟类)”以及第二段“I’ve always cared about birds and have written about them as a science writer, but the moment I decided with purpose to devote time and energy to bird- watching marked my transformation into a birder.(我一直对鸟类很感兴趣，并且作为一名科学作家也写过相关文章，但当我下定决心专门投入时间和精力去观察鸟类的时候，这标志着我正式成为了鸟类爱好者)”可知，整段的重点在于作者成为一名观鸟者的时间和契机。故选A。 【5题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段“I didn’t start from zero. My career spent writing about nature taught me about the habitats; journalism allowed me to quickly familiarize myself with new topics and new people. I crowdsourced tips on social media plat forms and went out with experienced birders.(我并非从零开始。我的职业生涯一直致力于关于自然的报道工作，这让我对各种栖息地有了深入的了解；而新闻工作则让我能够迅速熟悉新的主题和新的人物。我通过社交媒体平台收集相关建议，并与有经验的观鸟者一同外出观察)”可知，这些已有的技能如何支持了他的观鸟活动。故选B。 【6题详解】 词句猜测题。根据第五段“My mind quiets, focusing only on the present.(我的思绪平静下来，只专注于当下)”可推知，作者在观鸟时完全沉浸在当下，不受天气、饥渴等影响，由此可判断“impervious to”意为“完全不受……影响的”。故选D。 【7题详解】 主旨大意题。根据倒数第二段“People call birding an escape from reality. I reject that. Instead, I see it as engagement with the true reality.(人们把观鸟称作是对现实世界的逃离。但我却不这么认为。在我看来，观鸟其实是一种与真实世界紧密相连的体验)”和最后一段“Spring is coming. New birds will soon flood the Bay Area. I can’t wait.(春天就要来了。新的鸟类很快就会涌入旧金山湾区。我迫不及待地想要见到它们了)”可知，作者认为观鸟不是逃避现实，而是一种接触真实生活的方式，同时也表达了对自然的热爱和期待。因此，文章的主旨是强调像观鸟这样简单的爱好可以丰富我们的生活。故选C。 C Have you ever escaped taking on a role or opportunity because you didn’t feel confident enough? Perhaps the voice in your head asked: “Why me? I am not yet ready, not capable enough, or don’t have enough experience.” If you can relate, you’re among the majority of women with whom I’ve worked. I recently asked more than 120 women, from areas including the U.S., UK, Australia, Georgia, Italy, India, Jamaica, and Bermuda: If you’ve ever avoided risks, what factors and reasons contributed to this? More than 70% reported that self­doubt, or not having enough belief in themselves, their capabilities, or their skills, was a driving factor. As one well­known executive told me: “Every day I doubt myself. I doubt that I am good enough to be where I am.” This shouldn’t come as a surprise. We know self­doubt is a pervasive and often paralyzing concern, particularly for women. A study by psychologists at Cornell and Washington State highlighted higher levels of self­doubt in women. Research has also shown that women will apply for a job only if they meet all of the qualifications, while men will apply when they fulfill only 60%. Another recent study identified a considerable gender gap when it comes to self­promotion, with women providing less favorable assessments of their own past performance and potential future ability. Ultimately, men take more chances on themselves, and that pays dividends in the long run. While this pattern of self­doubt emerged again and again in studies, my interactions, and my client work, I also noticed another commonality: These women’s self­doubts weren’t sabotaging their success. The vast majority of successful women leaders I’ve interviewed and coached have built exciting and satisfying careers even while facing self­doubt. What these women also had in common is courage in the absence of confidence — a trait that is often weaponized against women and used to explain why they fail to achieve career goals. My work has found that successful women take decisive action to move forward even while grappling with fears and doubts and questioning their own “readiness”. “As women, we often feel like we have to be 100% ready in order to move forward. But, if you are 50% or 75% there, jump. Just do it,” said Megan Costello, former executive director of the Boston Mayor’s Office for Women’s Advancement. 8. What is the real factor for women to escape taking on a role? A. Higher risks. B. Different beliefs. C. Inner feelings. D. Related experiences. 9. What is typical of women in terms of self­promotion? A. They tend to be less optimistic. B. They prefer to be well qualified. C. They try to be favorably assessed. D. They hope to be clearly identified. 10. Which can best replace the underlined word “sabotaging” in Paragraph 5? A. Promoting. B. Weakening. C. Achieving. D. Balancing. 11. How do women with self­doubts succeed? A. By keeping themselves weaponized. B. By ignoring fears and doubts. C. By stopping questioning their readiness. D. By being bold and, decisive. 【答案】8. C 9. A 10. B 11. D 【解析】 【导语】文章指出女性常因自我怀疑回避机遇，但自我怀疑并不会毁掉成功；成功女性即便内心不安，依旧果敢行动，不必等到万事俱备再向前。 【8题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段“More than 70% reported that self­doubt, or not having enough belief in themselves, their capabilities, or their skills, was a driving factor.(超过70%的人表示，自我怀疑，即对自己、自身能力或技能缺乏足够的信心，是导致她们回避风险的主要因素)”可知，女性逃避承担角色的真正因素是内在感受。 【9题详解】 细节理解题。根据第四段“Another recent study identified a considerable gender gap when it comes to self­promotion, with women providing less favorable assessments of their own past performance and potential future ability.(另一项近期研究发现，在自我宣传方面存在显著的性别差距，女性对自己的过往表现和未来潜在能力的评价普遍较为负面)”可知，女性在自我宣传方面通常不太乐观。 【10题详解】 词句猜测题。根据划线词后文“The vast majority of successful women leaders I’ve interviewed and coached have built exciting and satisfying careers even while facing self­doubt.(我采访和指导过的绝大多数成功女性领导者，即使面临自我怀疑，也依然建立了令人振奋且令人满足的职业生涯)”可知，这些女性的自我怀疑并没有削弱她们取得成功的能力。故划线词意思是“削弱”。 【11题详解】 细节理解题。根据倒数第二段“My work has found that successful women take decisive action to move forward even while grappling with fears and doubts and questioning their own “readiness”.(我的研究发现，成功的女性即使在面对恐惧、怀疑以及对自己“是否已准备就绪”的质疑时，也会果断采取行动，继续向前迈进)”可知，有自我怀疑的女性通过勇敢和果断取得成功。 D Visit an antique shop and you may find photographs, letters, or old brochures from decades ago. These objects were never designed to last forever, yet many have survived. Their physical form gives them a chance to remain part of the historical record. This raises an important question: will today’s digital information survive as successfully? For centuries, historians have relied on physical objects that endured even when their creators made no special effort to preserve them. A letter or photograph carries its information in the object itself. Digital information is different. It depends on devices, software, and file formats, all of which may become outdated. Saving a digital object, therefore, does not always mean saving the information inside it. Libraries and archives (档案馆) have long organized, preserved, and provided access to information. By digitizing physical collections, librarians allow researchers around the world to search materials quickly. Yet this success can make libraries seem less necessary. When people say that “everything is on a phone,” they often forget the careful work that made such access possible and the continuing effort required to maintain it. The danger becomes clear when we think about an old ZIP disk. The disk may still exist, but the files on it may be impossible to open because the necessary equipment or software has disappeared. Without regularly moving digital information into new formats, parts of the historical record may suddenly become unreadable. Future researchers could face a serious gap beginning when digital materials replaced physical ones. No complete solution to digital preservation yet exists. However, librarians and archivists are working to identify, organize, transfer, and protect digital materials. They also understand how researchers search for and use information. Their work cannot guarantee that every digital record will survive, but it can prevent the digital past from becoming inaccessible. Preserving digital history will remain difficult, yet professional care can ensure that future researchers find it challenging rather than impossible. In this sense, preservation is not an automatic process but a continuing responsibility. 12. What causes digital information to be at risk of loss? A. Its huge amount of data. B. Its high cost of daily maintenance. C. Its poor storage conditions. D. Its reliance on changing technology. 13. What misconception about libraries does the author point out? A. Digital access makes them unnecessary. B. They prefer to store physical materials. C. Researchers no longer need archives. D. Digitizing collections is very easy. 14. Why does the author mention the old ZIP disk? A. To introduce a popular storage device. B. To show the short lifespan of hardware. C. To prove the necessity of format updates. D. To compare different digital saving methods. 15. What is the main idea of the text? A. Accessing databases is essential to researchers. B. Keeping digital historical records is a challenge. C. Hard work should be done to preserve artifacts. D. The contribution of libraries should be recognized. 【答案】12. D 13. A 14. C 15. B 【解析】 【导语】本文讲述了实体物件可长久留存历史信息，但数字信息依赖设备、软件与文件格式，容易失效；图书馆档案人员需持续维护，保存数字历史是一项长期的责任。 【12题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段“Digital information is different. It depends on devices, software, and file formats, all of which may become outdated. (数字信息不一样。它依赖设备、软件以及文件格式，而这些都有可能过时。)”可知，数字信息面临丢失风险是因为它依赖不断变化的技术。 【13题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段“Yet this success can make libraries seem less necessary. When people say that “everything is on a phone,” they often forget the careful work that made such access possible and the continuing effort required to maintain it. (然而这份成功会让图书馆显得不那么必要。当人们说“所有东西都在手机上”时，常常忘了实现这种访问背后繁杂的工作以及维持它所需持续付出的努力。)”可知，作者指出人们误以为数字化让图书馆不再必要，但实际上背后有大量工作。 【14题详解】 推理判断题。根据第四段“The disk may still exist, but the files on it may be impossible to open because the necessary equipment or software has disappeared. Without regularly moving digital information into new formats, parts of the historical record may suddenly become unreadable. (磁盘或许还在，但磁盘里的文件可能无法打开，因为配套的设备或软件已经消失。如果不把数字信息定期转换为新格式，部分历史记录就会突然无法读取。)”可知，作者举老式ZIP磁盘例子，是为了证明更新文件格式十分必要。 【15题详解】 主旨大意题。根据最后一段“Preserving digital history will remain difficult, yet professional care can ensure that future researchers find it challenging rather than impossible. In this sense, preservation is not an automatic process but a continuing responsibility. (保存数字历史依旧困难重重，但专业的维护可以让后世研究者虽面临难题却不至于完全无法获取资料。从这个意义上讲，保存并非自动完成，而是一份持续的责任。)”以及通读全文可知，文章主要说明保存数字历史记录是一项挑战。 第二节（共5小题；每小题2.5分，满分12.5分） 阅读下面短文，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。 Have you ever found yourself lost in a book, turning pages without really processing the words? It happens to the best of us. ____16____ For them, reading isn’t just about understanding the text; it’s about thinking critically, making connections, and engaging with what they’re reading. This is where questioning techniques come into play in reading instruction. At its core, questioning techniques are strategies used to inspire readers to think critically about what they are reading. ____17____ Just like how exercise strengthens muscles, asking questions while reading strengthens comprehension skills. It pushes readers to not only understand the story but to analyze it, evaluate it, and sometimes even challenge it. ____18____ The types of questions asked can vary depending on the level of engagement required. There are easy literal questions that ask for information directly from the text and also inferential and evaluative questions that require readers to read between the lines. There are even predictive questions that encourage readers to make predictions about what will happen next. ____19____ But together, they create a rich, engaging reading experience that goes beyond just decoding words on a page. You might be wondering, “Why does this matter?” Can’t students just read and understand on their own? Well, the truth is, reading is more than just recognizing words. ____20____ In a world overloaded with information, teaching students how to think critically about what they read is more important than ever. Questioning techniques in reading instruction provide students with the tools they need to become thoughtful, engaged, and reflective readers. A. Each type serves a different purpose. B. It’s about making sense of those words. C. Of course, all questions aren’t created equal. D. They can totally transform the reading experience. E. But imagine students who are just learning to read. F. Think of questioning techniques as a mental workout for the brain. G. Be aware that these techniques can be tailored based on reading levels. 【答案】16. E 17. F 18. C 19. A 20. B 【解析】 【导语】主要介绍阅读教学中的提问技巧，阐释其作用、分类以及培养读者批判性阅读思维的重要意义。 【16题详解】 根据前文“Have you ever found yourself lost in a book, turning pages without really processing the words? It happens to the best of us.(你是否曾看书走神，翻页却没有理解文字内容？这种情况人人都会遇到。)”以及后文“For them, reading isn’t just about understanding the text; it’s about thinking critically, making connections, and engaging with what they’re reading.(对他们而言，阅读不只是读懂文本，还要思辨思考、建立关联并深入研读内容。)”可知，后文出现指代词汇them，空格处需要引出对应的人群，E选项“But imagine students who are just learning to read.(但试想一下正在学习阅读的学生们)”引出学生群体，后文them正好指代这类人群，衔接自然，符合语境。 【17题详解】 根据后文“Just like how exercise strengthens muscles, asking questions while reading strengthens comprehension skills.(就如同运动可以强健肌肉一样，阅读时提问能够提升理解能力。)”可知，后文运用类比的手法进行阐述，F选项“Think of questioning techniques as a mental workout for the brain.(可以把提问技巧看作是大脑的思维锻炼)”与后文运动健身的类比句式保持一致，呼应下文内容。 【18题详解】 根据后文“The types of questions asked can vary depending on the level of engagement required.(所提出问题的类型会根据阅读思考深度的不同而发生变化。)”以及后文依次列举出字面问题、推理问题、评价问题和预测问题可知，本段主要讲述问题存在不同类别，C选项“Of course, all questions aren’t created equal.(当然，所有的问题并非都是一样的)”总领本段内容，引出下文对不同问题类型的介绍。 【19题详解】 前文依次介绍了多种不同类型的阅读问题，根据后文“But together, they create a rich, engaging reading experience that goes beyond just decoding words on a page.(但这些问题结合在一起，能够打造丰富有趣的阅读体验，远超单纯识别文字的层面。)”可知，空格处说明各类问题有着各自不同的作用，A选项“Each type serves a different purpose.(每一种问题都有着不同的作用)”承接前文多种问题的介绍，与后文转折语句相互呼应。 【20题详解】 根据前文“Well, the truth is, reading is more than just recognizing words.(事实上，阅读远远不只是认识文字这么简单。)”可知，前文否定阅读的浅层含义，空格处需要点明阅读的深层内涵，B选项“It’s about making sense of those words.(阅读是要去理解领悟这些文字背后的含义)”承接上文，对阅读的真正意义进行解释说明。 第三部分 语言运用（共两节，满分30分） 第一节 完形填空（共15小题：每小题1分，满分15分） 阅读下面短文，从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。 The charm of the ocean has always been a powerful force, and among its most grand inhabitants is the humpback whale (驼背鲸).

From my perspective, peer learning works better for most students. With classmates working together, we can share different ideas, solving problems more efficiently. Not only does it deepen our understanding, but it also builds communication skills. If time permits, group discussions often spark creative solutions that we might never discover alone. That said, independent learning still matters. What we should do is combine both approaches, using peer learning to exchange ideas while developing self-study habits. Only in this way can we achieve real academic growth. 【解析】 【导语】本篇书面表达要求考生就“同伴一起学习”与“自主学习”哪一种学习效果更好发表看法，阐述理由，向校英文报“Opinion”栏目投稿。 【详解】1.词汇积累 理解：understanding→comprehension 激发：spark→trigger/stimulate 培养：develop→cultivate/foster 实现：achieve→accomplish/attain 2.句式拓展 同义句转换 原句：If time permits, group discussions often spark creative solutions that we might never discover alone. 拓展句：Time permitting, group discussions often spark creative solutions that we might never discover alone. 【点睛】【高分句型1】With classmates working together, we can share different ideas, solving problems more efficiently.

He swam down deep, and then he swam to the surface and cleared out of the river, flapping his tail and shaking his head. Just before he fell back with a mighty white splash, I thought I saw him wink at me. It was such a human gesture that for a moment I forgot he was a fish — he was just another creature fighting for his life, and somehow I admired him for it. But that didn’t make me want him any less, at least then. “That’s a good-sized trout (鳟鱼), though,” Grandpa said. “Keep your rod (鱼竿) tip up and your line tight.” Then he disappeared back down the riverbank. “No, Grandpa, wait!” I called, but he was already gone. My arm was getting tired and my heart was beating wildly in my chest. I tried my best to do as I was told. But try as I might, something went wrong. My rod went straight and my line went loose, and when I reeled (卷线) in the hook, Walter was gone. As we walked back home, Grandpa said, “You’re almost as fine a fisherman as I am, did you know that? Yet some fish are meant to stay in the river.” But I was hardly listening. I felt robbed, as if someone had stolen my bike or something. My eyes were burning, and there was a hot hard knot in my throat. “It’s just not fair,” I moaned. “Maybe you just need a little bit luck,” Grandpa said, putting his big warm hand on my shoulder and drawing me close. I felt better. That night I tossed and turned and I dreamed of Walter — I pulled him up on the riverbank, carried him home and got my picture in the newspaper, becoming a world-famous fisherman. 注意： (1)续写词数应为150左右； (2)请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。 Paragraph 1: Then at dawn I slipped from my bed and went down to the river. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Paragraph 2: When I lifted him from the water, he seemed to stare at me with a sad, wet eye. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】Possible version: Para. 1 Then at dawn I slipped from my bed and went down to the river. I strung the rod, baited the hook and cast the line — just as Grandpa had shown me. Then I waited — through the first light of dawn, through the birds’ morning songs, and through the growing ache in my arms. Suddenly the tip of my pole jerked violently. Holding on tight, I followed Grandpa’s fishing tip: rod tip up, line tight. The trout ran deep, then burst to the surface, flapping his tail and shaking his head wildly. After a long, fierce battle, I finally reeled him into the shallows — silver, enormous, and beautiful beyond words. I had caught Walter! Para. 2 When I lifted him from the water, he seemed to stare at me with a sad, wet eye. Somehow, my thrill ebbed. The playful Walter who had winked at me the day before was at my mercy, his silver scales dimming in my hands. Something tightened in my throat. Then Grandpa’s words came back to me: some fish are meant to stay in the river. I knelt down, eased the hook from his lip, and set him back into the river. But just before he swam off, I thought I saw the corner of his mouth lift in a great wide smile. I stood there empty-handed, but somehow my chest felt full. Maybe, I thought, that made me a better fisherman than any newspaper picture ever could. 【解析】 【导语】本文以人物为线索，主要讲述了作者和爷爷去钓鱼时，一条名叫Walter的大鳟鱼从作者的鱼钩上逃脱了，爷爷安慰说“有些鱼注定留在河里”，但作者心有不甘，当晚梦见自己成功钓到Walter并成了世界闻名的钓鱼人。第二天凌晨，作者独自前往河边，最终再次钓到了Walter，但面对它悲伤的眼神，作者领悟到爷爷话中的深意，选择将它放生，从而真正理解了钓鱼的意义。 【详解】1. 段落续写： ①由第一段首句内容可知，本段可以写作者凌晨独自来到河边，组装鱼竿、抛竿、耐心等待，最终再次钓到Walter的经过，重点刻画钓鱼过程中的紧张与坚持。 ②由第二段首句内容可知，本段可以写作者将Walter提出水面后，面对它悲伤的眼神，内心发生转变，回忆起爷爷的话，最终选择放生Walter，并从中领悟到真正的钓鱼之道——懂得放手比捕获更重要。 2. 续写线索：凌晨独自去河边→组装鱼竿、抛竿、耐心等待→鱼线绷紧、Walter上钩→激烈搏斗后成功将其拉到岸边→将Walter提出水面、看到它悲伤的眼神→内心激动消退、陷入沉思→想起爷爷的话→轻轻取下鱼钩→将Walter放生→Walter游走→坐在岸边感悟 3. 词汇激活： 行为类 ①遵循某人的建议：follow one’s tip/follow one’s advice ②紧紧握住：hold on/grip/clench 情绪类 ①激动：thrill/excitement ②微笑：smile/beam 【点睛】【高分句型1】Holding on tight, I followed Grandpa’s fishing tip: rod tip up, line tight.(运用了现在分词作状语) 【高分句型2】The playful Walter who had winked at me the day before was at my mercy, his silver scales dimming in my hands.(运用了who引导的定语从句和独立主格结构) 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $ 2026—2027学年度第一学期阶段一 高三英语试题 第一部分 听力（共两节，满分30分） 做题时，先将答案标在试卷上。录音部分结束前，你将有两分钟的时间将试卷上的答案转涂到答题卡上。 第一节（共5小题；每小题1.5分，满分7.5分） 听下面5段录音。每段录音后有一个小题，从题中所给的A、B、C三个选项中选出最佳选项。听完每段录音后，你都有10秒钟的时间来回答有关小题和阅读下一小题。每段录音播放两遍。 1.

Though I’d used binoculars (望远镜), field guides and song identification apps all summer while hiking, this was the first time I only watched birds. I’ve always cared about birds and have written about them as a science writer, but the moment I decided with purpose to devote time and energy to bird-watching marked my transformation into a birder. Seven months later, I’ve seen 452 species, learned dozens of calls, tracked rare birds, and even went looking for owls at night. I didn’t start from zero. My career spent writing about nature taught me about the habitats; journalism allowed me to quickly familiarize myself with new topics and new people. I crowdsourced tips on social media platforms and went out with experienced birders. I used tools available to beginners. Many regard birding as just turning lives into checklist numbers, but even that is harder without knowledge. To find the birds, you have to know them. And in doing that, much else falls into space. Birding has boosted my time outdoors, pushing me to explore my neighborhood in ways I never would have: amazing hot spots in industrial areas, wastewater treatment plants, and random parks. I seem imperious to heat, cold, hunger, and thirst. My mind quiets, focusing only on the present. I also feel a much deeper connection to nature, which I’ve long written about but always remained slightly distant from. Every bird I meet gives color and sound to the facts I once knew only from books. Birds I assumed lived far away — golden eagles, cranes — have all appeared within an hour of my house. People call birding an escape from reality. I reject that. Instead, I see it as involvement with the true reality. I don’t need to know social media drama when I can spend an hour hunting for a rare bird. The choice is obvious. Spring is coming. New birds will soon flood the Bay Area. I can’t wait. 4. What is paragraph 1 mainly about? A. When the author became a birder. B. The author’s early interest in birding. C. An ideal destination for new birders. D. A memorable birding trip without tools. 5. What does the author emphasize in paragraph 3? A. Why new birders can never start from zero. B. How prior skills have aided his/ her birding. C. The difficulties of birding without guidance. D. The use of effective bird identification tools. 6. What does the underlined phrase “imperious to” mean in paragraph 5? A. extremely afraid of. B. Strongly opposed to. C. easily contented with. D. completely unaffected by. 7. What is the author’s main message? A. Birding is an escape from reality. B. Technology kills real experience. C. Simple joys like birding enrich life. D. Hobbies require a lot of knowledge. C Have you ever escaped taking on a role or opportunity because you didn’t feel confident enough? Perhaps the voice in your head asked: “Why me? I am not yet ready, not capable enough, or don’t have enough experience.” If you can relate, you’re among the majority of women with whom I’ve worked. I recently asked more than 120 women, from areas including the U.S., UK, Australia, Georgia, Italy, India, Jamaica, and Bermuda: If you’ve ever avoided risks, what factors and reasons contributed to this? More than 70% reported that self­doubt, or not having enough belief in themselves, their capabilities, or their skills, was a driving factor. As one well­known executive told me: “Every day I doubt myself. I doubt that I am good enough to be where I am.” This shouldn’t come as a surprise. We know self­doubt is a pervasive and often paralyzing concern, particularly for women. A study by psychologists at Cornell and Washington State highlighted higher levels of self­doubt in women. Research has also shown that women will apply for a job only if they meet all of the qualifications, while men will apply when they fulfill only 60%. Another recent study identified a considerable gender gap when it comes to self­promotion, with women providing less favorable assessments of their own past performance and potential future ability. Ultimately, men take more chances on themselves, and that pays dividends in the long run. While this pattern of self­doubt emerged again and again in studies, my interactions, and my client work, I also noticed another commonality: These women’s self­doubts weren’t sabotaging their success. The vast majority of successful women leaders I’ve interviewed and coached have built exciting and satisfying careers even while facing self­doubt. What these women also had in common is courage in the absence of confidence — a trait that is often weaponized against women and used to explain why they fail to achieve career goals. My work has found that successful women take decisive action to move forward even while grappling with fears and doubts and questioning their own “readiness”. “As women, we often feel like we have to be 100% ready in order to move forward. But, if you are 50% or 75% there, jump. Just do it,” said Megan Costello, former executive director of the Boston Mayor’s Office for Women’s Advancement. 8. What is the real factor for women to escape taking on a role? A. Higher risks. B. Different beliefs. C. Inner feelings. D. Related experiences. 9. What is typical of women in terms of self­promotion? A. They tend to be less optimistic. B. They prefer to be well qualified. C. They try to be favorably assessed. D. They hope to be clearly identified. 10. Which can best replace the underlined word “sabotaging” in Paragraph 5? A. Promoting. B. Weakening. C. Achieving. D. Balancing. 11. How do women with self­doubts succeed? A. By keeping themselves weaponized. B. By ignoring fears and doubts. C. By stopping questioning their readiness. D. By being bold and, decisive. D Visit an antique shop and you may find photographs, letters, or old brochures from decades ago. These objects were never designed to last forever, yet many have survived. Their physical form gives them a chance to remain part of the historical record. This raises an important question: will today’s digital information survive as successfully? For centuries, historians have relied on physical objects that endured even when their creators made no special effort to preserve them. A letter or photograph carries its information in the object itself. Digital information is different. It depends on devices, software, and file formats, all of which may become outdated. Saving a digital object, therefore, does not always mean saving the information inside it. Libraries and archives (档案馆) have long organized, preserved, and provided access to information. By digitizing physical collections, librarians allow researchers around the world to search materials quickly. Yet this success can make libraries seem less necessary. When people say that “everything is on a phone,” they often forget the careful work that made such access possible and the continuing effort required to maintain it. The danger becomes clear when we think about an old ZIP disk. The disk may still exist, but the files on it may be impossible to open because the necessary equipment or software has disappeared. Without regularly moving digital information into new formats, parts of the historical record may suddenly become unreadable. Future researchers could face a serious gap beginning when digital materials replaced physical ones. No complete solution to digital preservation yet exists. However, librarians and archivists are working to identify, organize, transfer, and protect digital materials. They also understand how researchers search for and use information. Their work cannot guarantee that every digital record will survive, but it can prevent the digital past from becoming inaccessible.

He swam down deep, and then he swam to the surface and cleared out of the river, flapping his tail and shaking his head. Just before he fell back with a mighty white splash, I thought I saw him wink at me. It was such a human gesture that for a moment I forgot he was a fish — he was just another creature fighting for his life, and somehow I admired him for it. But that didn’t make me want him any less, at least then. “That’s a good-sized trout (鳟鱼), though,” Grandpa said. “Keep your rod (鱼竿) tip up and your line tight.” Then he disappeared back down the riverbank. “No, Grandpa, wait!” I called, but he was already gone. My arm was getting tired and my heart was beating wildly in my chest. I tried my best to do as I was told. But try as I might, something went wrong. My rod went straight and my line went loose, and when I reeled (卷线) in the hook, Walter was gone. As we walked back home, Grandpa said, “You’re almost as fine a fisherman as I am, did you know that? Yet some fish are meant to stay in the river.” But I was hardly listening. I felt robbed, as if someone had stolen my bike or something. My eyes were burning, and there was a hot hard knot in my throat. “It’s just not fair,” I moaned. “Maybe you just need a little bit luck,” Grandpa said, putting his big warm hand on my shoulder and drawing me close. I felt better. That night I tossed and turned and I dreamed of Walter — I pulled him up on the riverbank, carried him home and got my picture in the newspaper, becoming a world-famous fisherman. 注意： (1)续写词数应为150左右； (2)请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。 Paragraph 1: Then at dawn I slipped from my bed and went down to the river. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Paragraph 2: When I lifted him from the water, he seemed to stare at me with a sad, wet eye. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $
